Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lehigh Acres, FL

Hi there!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have an educational background of school counseling and as a teacher. I enjoy helping clients realize their potential while prioritizing their mental health. My counseling focus is with adolescents to adult-aged clients.

I'm a retired veteran, have been working as a social worker/therapist since 2004, and have been in private practice since 2017. I have extensive and successful experience helping people with trauma/PTSD, relationships, boundaries, emotions, domestic violence, sexual trauma, substance abuse, grief, parenting, and more.

Hello! My name is Patti Alday. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with years of experience helping people to navigate difficult seasons of life. I believe that healing happens when we allow others to walk alongside us in the process.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and I came to this work later in life after a career in childcare and education. That path gave me patience and a real curiosity about how people grow and change. My clinical training began working with a sexual abuse treatment program for children, and I have since shifted my practice to focus on adults. I bring both life experience and clinical training into the room, and I care most about making sure you feel genuinely heard and never judged.

I’m Sharyn Krim, LMHC, & Board Certified Addiction Professionally, and Internationally certified Recovery Coach, here to support you through life’s transitions. Specializing in addiction recovery, women’s issues, and major life transitions like retirement, divorce, grief, couples, and adolescent life changes. I’ll help you navigate challenges and build a path toward lasting growth and healing.

I have a passion for supporting individuals by encouraging changes, healing, and empowerment. I have had the wonderful opportunity to practice as a mental health therapist as well as share my expertise to deliver educational services in Palm Beach County for the last 8+ years. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from South University and I currently hold a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I am currently completing an EdD with an emphasis in Behavioral Health at Grand Canyon University.

I have experience working with children and families, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. I have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and co-occurring disorders. I have also worked with clients dealing with single parenthood, partner relational conflict, childhood and generational trauma, grief, and loss issues. I specialize in child-parent/family issues and domestic abuse (intimate partner violence).

I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Monmouth University, where I gained clinical experience working with older adults, adults, and adolescents. During my graduate training, I provided services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in a specialized advocacy and support setting. I have also gained experience working in short-term rehabilitation and long-term care settings.

My clinical areas of focus include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-care, self-esteem, women’s issues, and overall mental health and wellness. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences, developing insight, and working toward meaningful and sustainable change.
